Haven't been to Flame Broiler in a while, but decided to stop by for their 4 bowl deal for lunch. Upon entering, we were met with the smell of flame cooked deliciousness! The space was clean and tidy, with a nice big fan to circulate airflow- which made me drool even more. We were greeted by the sweetest staff member, Emily, who patiently explained the 4 chicken bowl deal to us. We had barely finished getting our drinks and sauces when the bowls were ready. Wow! Such speedy service! Even though we got our bowls to-go, they were still warm and full of flavor when we ate them. Will definitely be back!

Love the tofu and chicken bowl here. Special price $19 for 2 bowls. My server is Emily!

The person whom was assisting me was extremely rude. She refused to give me her name so I decided to take a photo and post it on here.

Absolutely LOVE this place!! I have visited three times and I have loved it every time. There's a…read morelot of seating inside and easy parking lot. I've always gotten good service and they've always been so sweet. They accommodated us so well when we came with a party of 11. You can tell that there are regulars at this restaurant, which is always a good sign. For food, the banchan is awesome. Also, they have warm broth for every table. They do refill both the banchan and broth. I love the Gogi Soon Tofu. They can adjust the spice level, which is nice. It's such a comforting meal. If you have a few people, I highly recommend getting their bossam. It is so delicious and easy to share. Other dishes that I would get again are the Jajang Myun, Chic Mul Naengmyun (so good on a hot day). There's so many dishes to try. I can't wait to go back!

Never come here. And I repeat, never come here…read more Not only is the food bad, but it is hands down the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced. They treat you like they are doing you a massive favor just letting you sit down--as if they're paying you to eat here. Before spending a dime here, just take a minute to read the owner's responses to negative reviews. Every single one is hostile, defensive, argumentative, and threatening. Never a simple "we're sorry," just constant deflections claiming customers are making "false accusations." Just stop arguing with paying customers, drop the ego, and learn basic customer service. To make matters worse, their policy of refusing to let you take banchan to-go because it's "complimentary" is completely absurd. How is it complimentary? Will you feed anyone off the street just banchan? No. Complimentary means free. I am paying for the entire meal, and banchan is fundamentally built into the price and culture of dining at a Korean restaurant. It's part of what we pay for. Once it hits my table, it's paid for--and refusing to let a customer pack it up just means you'd rather throw perfectly good food in the trash out of spite or reuse it? If you honestly consider it a free handout you need to gatekeep, then don't bring the banchan out in the first place. Save your money, your patience, and your appetite. Go anywhere else.

If you're going with a few people, the Braised Spicy Premium Beef Ribs with the flat glass noodles is definitely the move. The portion easily feeds two to three. The meat is super tender and just falls off the bone, covered in a rich, spicy sauce that has a nice kick to it. The flat glass noodles soak up all that sauce, and the chunks of kabocha squash add a slight sweetness that balances out the spicy, heavy beef. Service is super fast. You get your banchan pretty much the second you sit down, and the food comes out steaming hot without a long delay. If you're looking for a quick group lunch spot where you can split something huge and spicy, it's definitely worth coming here.

My friend also let me try the beef bone soup that came on the side, and I had the same impression. After the meal, I felt sick and nauseous from its artificial tastes. The condiments and everything we ordered were also extremely sweet, which overwhelmed the flavors and was disappointing for Korean food. Overall, the food simply did not taste authentic or made with the quality of ingredients I expected. I really dislike leaving negative reviews because I genuinely want to support local restaurants. However, based on what we were served, I cannot recommend this place. The restaurant presents itself as an authentic seolleongtang restaurant, and one entire wall is covered with large advertisements emphasizing its authenticity. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to those claims. I was also confused by the restaurant's name, YiGah, because it sounds essentially the same in Korean as the well-known LeeGa name in Los Angeles. That initially gave me a different expectation of the restaurant. Unfortunately, the food was simply terrible during our visit. I hope they will improve the quality, especially the broth and seasonings.
